On June 22, 2022, Lagos State Governor Sanwo-Olu flagged-Off Cosntruction of the 3.89km opebi-ojota-mende link bridge. The all important bridge which was conceived 22 years ago by the government of Senator Bola Tinubu was been awarded to Messrs Julius Berger Nigeria Plc after carrying out more extensive studies.

The Ojota-Opebi Link Bridge has a total length of 3.89km consisting 2829 metre road length with 276-metre Deck-on-Pile Bridge and 474 metre Mechanically Stabilized Earth Wall approach sections.

The governor assured residents and road users that the construction of this Legacy link road and bridge project will not affect their properties as speculated. The route is set already and it won’t affect traffic in that axis

Presently there is no direct link between Opebi, Maryland and Ojota. This Landmark Project will connect Opebi Road from its tail end with Lagos- Ikorodu road by Odo Iya Alaro.

This Project will reduce travel time for Lagos and Ikorodu bound traffic from Opebi. It will also ease the traffic situation at Opebi – Sheraton Link Road and Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way.

The project is now almost completed and very soon, it will be ready for use.
